RIOT GRRRL - final manifesto zine

Here is the final manifesto zine after the rescanning process. Altogether, my zine cost me less than a pound to print out. Although many may view this as me taking the easy route, or simply printing in bad quality, the way I have printed my zine reflects the nature and content of the publication. The whole point in the publication was for it to reflect the original Riot Grrrl aesthetic, and the only way to do this was to follow the same process that would have been followed back then. Although I didn't use a photocopier, I was still able to achieve the same type of print. I had over 90 pages to print altogether, therefore being able to print all three zines for under a pound just goes to show how this process was time and cost efficient, allowing individuals to quickly and easily spread their ideas. It allowed them to send their manifesto all over the world, and to anyone who wanted to hear about it. Not everyone has the time or means to produce a sleek and glossy publication in order to get their opinions out there, this was a way for them to reach individuals in the most relevant and efficient way.
